摘要：This study investigated the strategic ''sensemaking'' processes of scanning, interpretation, and action and how those activities are linked to organizational performance. Using path analyses on data from 156 hospitals, we tested the direct and indirect effects among these sensemaking processes and performance outcomes and developed a model of their relationships. In a more general sense, the research represents an attempt to provide insight not only into relationships between cognition and act...

摘要：In this study, we hypothesized that a nurse's exposure to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients as part of the work role is positively associated with distress as indexed by negative mood at work. Given this expected relation, we sought to identify factors that might reduce the negative effects of caring for AIDS patients on nurses. We predicted that both organizational and social support would moderate the relationship between extent of exposure and negative mood, with the relati...

摘要：The new internationalization of the field of management has produced growing concern as to whether theories and techniques largely developed in the United States apply to other cultures. A within-subjects experimental design was used to analyze the impacts that three popular and successful techniques used in U.S. studies had on the performance of workers in the largest textile factory in the Russian republic of the former Soviet Union. Two techniques, providing extrinsic rewards and behavioral...

摘要：The administrative reorganization of top-level managers in 200 colleges and universities was examined over a ten-year period. Findings showed that organizational size, age, and change in size work in configurations to affect administrative reorganization. Arguments focusing on competing forces for structural change and stability provided explanations for differences in levels of reorganization. These forces originate in countervailing pressures from increased complexity associated with large s...

摘要：According to social constructivist theories of communication technology in organizations, work group members share identifiable patterns of meaning and action concerning communication technology. Empirical evidence of these patterns was found in a study of electronic mail use among a group of scientists and engineers. Social influences on technology-related attitudes and behavior were consistently stronger when individuals were highly attracted to their work groups. for individuals with low at...

摘要：This study examined relationships among three methods of leader monitoring, employee perceptions of workplace justice, and employee citizenship behavior. We hypothesized that monitoring would negatively affect citizenship because close control may keep employees from performing duties seen as extra and perhaps not leading to rewards. However, we also hypothesized that monitoring's focus on gathering unbiased information would positively influence employees' perceptions of fairness, which have ...

摘要：This study investigated the convergent validity of Rumelt's categorical classification of types of business diversification across different data sources and variations from Rumelt's method. The study also assessed convergent and predictive validity of Rumelt's classification and continuous measures of diversification. It also investigates the ability of continuous measures to discriminate between Rumelt's categories. The results suggest weak convergent validity for Rumelt's measures but good ...

摘要：This study challenges the common assumption that retrospective accounts of business strategy are reliable and valid. Chief executives reported their firms' current strategies, and two years later, they reported their firms' strategies of two years earlier. Of these retrospective accounts, 58 percent did not agree with the previous and validated reports of past strategy. Retrospective errors appear to occur systematically and may be attributable to faulty memory or to attempts to cast past beha...

摘要：This study examined the contribution of two concepts to the conventional view of commitment: foci of commitment, the individuals and groups to whom an employee is attached, and bases of commitment, the motives engendering attachment. Commitment to top management, supervisor, and work group were important determinants of job satisfaction, intent to quit, and prosocial organizational behaviors over and above commitment to an organization. Compliance, identification, and internalization as bases ...

摘要：The study involved analyses of incidents described from the perspective of the targets of influence attempts. We coded influence behavior in the incidents into nine tactics and classified outcomes as commitment, compliance, or resistance. Hypotheses were developed to explain the outcome of each tactic used alone and in combination. The findings supported most of the hypotheses. The most effective tactics were inspirational appeals and consultation. The least effective were pressure, legitimati...
